Please speak up, Ms. Rachel Jeantel!!! :angry:

No joke.  I'm having flashbacks to District Court.

Seriously.  I don't have speakers here, and I'm limited to my crappy headphones.

Oh dear Lord, I hope for the prosecution's sake that she's not their main witness.

She's the last one that ever spoke to him.  So yeah, she is.

Personally, I think the cop yesterday was their best witness.

It is just bizzare to me how criminal trials are popular entertainment in the US.

They usually aren't for me.

I agree, and I find it disturbing.  Back when I created a thread about the Jodi Arias trial, I went on HuffPo to look up some info on it, and I happened to notice in the comment thread for the article I was looking at that there are actually people who were so obsessed with the trial that they were like, online friends and were having conversations back and forth in the comments thread and it basically seemed that their lives revolved around it.  I was completely floored that people would be that into some random chick's murder trial. :wacko:

C'mon now.  It's the same demographic that watches soap operas.  What else do you want them to do with their time?

Look at how many civil court shows, police/court procedurals there are on tv.  It shouldn't be that surprising.

Yeah, but that fiction.  It's like the difference between watching "Black Hawk Down" and watching Siege policing up the barracks.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

The civil court shows are generally realistic, with actual litigants.

I get my fill of courtroom drama at work, I don't need to watch or even hear about it at home. <_<
